Steven's Magic, the only magic shop still publishing a catalogue that I look forward to receiving in the mail, has just put out a new edition of Takagi's famous One-Cup routine. This has been done with the permission of Mrs. Takagi and Ton Onosaka. Only 30 sets have been made for the bargain price of $125. This is the version where the large final load appears inside the cup at the end.Order here: https://www.stevensmagic.com/shop/one-c ... eo-takagi/Tell them that the Genii sent you!

Yes, the demo needs work. The performer might well read the Classic Secrets of Magic by Bruce Elliott to get the Benson one-ball vanish right.

The best one-cup routine for me has always been by Ottawa's Roy Cottee. I think I published it in Genii. Any cup. The ending produces two large spheres of deception and for the second sphere of deception you don't go near your pocket. I used it for years.

@ Bob Farmer & Daniel ZThis is a very nice routine. Thank you both for bringing it to my attention. It will make a nice change for spectators who've seen me do the chop cup. (Currently I've been using Señor Mardo's Routine "A" one cup & four balls.)
